Our Ears and Grommet

Hi...

Just some images and short info about our ears and the Grommet tube that was inserted in Sarah on Wednesday.

OUR EARS and GROMMET

As you can see there's fluid behind the eardrums that can lead to some hearing loss in a person. It is important that the fluid is sucked or drained out from the ears to assist hearing. That's the function of Grommet.

The position of the grommet tube in the ear.

Check out the position of the Grommet tube in the eardrums... to suck out the fluid from the middle ear.

Ventilation grommet placed in ear drum. By providing an artificial opening in the ear drum, pressure fluctuations between the middle ear and outside world can be avoided. In short, a sucker to suck out the fluid from the middle ear.

Sarah can still smile while waiting in the ward for her surgery time to come. Her last meal was 12midnite the nite before. She had to fast because she will be under general anesthetics (GA) during the surgery. This was around 8.30am in Kuantan Specialist Hospital.

Sarah is playing with her Mickey & Friends sticker collection and is still smiling after the surgery was over. She just had some water and milk... no vomitting, and later some noodle soup, so she is allowed to go home. This was taken at about 2pm after the surgeon came around and told us that Sarah can go home. Yeay!

Alhamdulillah, everything went well and she is now playing and being her cheeky self again at home. Thanks everyone for all your prayers. We really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Fazz & Sarah
